The evidence Is plain and indlsputable.
The IlmeS-Denocrdt and GOV. McEnery are
right when they declare that since 1874 the
states OF the south, named In this list, have
determined and held that white men alone
have any rights as to suffrage, for that is
the plain meaning of what has been said.
These states have ilfty.two electoral votes
and forty representatives In Congress. II
the oolored men OF the south were allowed,
as the Times Democrat says they are not al.
lowed, to participate In the elections, every
one Of these fifty.two electoral votes would
have been given In 1884 for James q. Blaine
They would be given at any time for auy
Republican candidate.
These states have forty members of the
House OF Representatives Upon n fair
division In Alabama there might possibly be
two districts that would elect Democrats
There would be tBree in Georgia, so that
five out of these forty members OF the
House Of Representative, il the colored
men were allowed to vote, would be Demo.
Gratis, and thirty-1ve would be Republicans.
AS 1t is not one single Republican Is there
out of the entire forty in the 6ftIeth Con
gress.
So 1t is perfectly apparent that, by the
suppression of the colored vote In these
states, the Democrats have elected Presi.
dent who holds office, It is true, by color OF
title, and is, therefore, de tacto President of
the United States, but is not de- j,re.

At a business meeting of the Republican
National League held at the Arlington last
night Gen. Bealc, the president, advised the
League to adopt the safe rule, ''pay as you
go'-to make no contracts without the
money in the treasury. This ADVICE was
adopted, and n committee appointed to

of the League to do so promptly. This done
the League proposes to have a home-a

nation.
Every Republican who becomes mem.
her before the first day of January next will
be enrolled as one OF the founding members
of the Republican National League, which
will live as long as the republic. Short
speeches were made by DR., Newman, Presl-
dent Beale, Senator Dolph, OF Oregon; Hon.
Fred Douglass, DR.. Adams, Gen. j. Hale

dent; Col Vim. A. Cook, L. W. Fox, and
Others. All expressed the opinion that the

throughout the nation for the reason that,
located at the national capital, 1t is most
favorably situated for intimate social aud

1t did in the memorable and ever.glorious con

The officials OF this government, whether

lists upon the statute books, is the only
guide for their conduct, and the official
who violates law or fails to enforce It is

One Of the laws which the District COM

And that order still stands unrepealed.
The law OF Congress is plain and requires
the advertisements to be published In Re-
publican and Democratic daily newspaper
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is the only
daily Republican paper printed in the Dis

OF the District commissioners because It
commented unfavorably on some OF their
acts, and as consequence for some weeks
past no advertisements Of the District have
been published In Republican daily paper.
This is an open violation OF lava dlsre-

The total vote for congressman In the ten
congressional districts Of Georgia In 1886 was
26520. This out Of voting population Of
$4,000. Only seven aud half per cent. of
the voters. Only one man in every thirteen
who cared to vote for congressman. The
men who are expected to believe that the
vote is not in some way suppressed must be
classed as idiots.
The vote in the territory OF Dakota for q
delegate In 1886 was 66, ,932, more than two
and half times as many as were polled for
the ten Democrats OF Georgia, and the m1.
joritytor the Republican candidate lUas larger
than the entire uotc polled tor ten representa-
tires IN Georgia, and every one OF GeorgiA's
ten opposed the admission Of Dakota as a
state.
In New Mexico the vote for delegate was
2s,5s2; that is 2,0G2 votes more than were
polled in Georgia. In Washington terri
tory the vote for one delegate was 47,22T;
nearly twice as many as the vote in Georgia
for ten congressman. In Montana the vote
for delegate was 32,262; over 5000 more
than the vote Of Georgia.

1t has been claimed in some quarters that

sible that a few negroes in the states where

impossible to get them to vote. anything

SWEET JENNY LIND.
The Romance of Her Marriage and Old
London Correspondence.

Age.
London Correspondence
Few people, fancy, save her very inti-
mate friends, are aware Of the exceedingly
romantic nature Of Jenny Lind's marriage,
not so many years ago, to Mr.. Otto Gold
schmidt, who is perhaps fully fifteen years
her junior, and although bald-headcd,
ratherly elderly looking gentleman, still
appears to be much younger than his
talented wife. When Jenny Lind came to
accompanist. lie was obliged to return
for some reason suddenly to
England, and the great singer
bethought her of a poor younr
German musician, whom she had met some
time before in Germany, and as soon as
possible secured his services In the place OF
Sir Jules Benedict's. The young man, like
all who came within sound of the magical
veice, soon became Jenny Lind's ardent
adnirer and presently her slave. Never
dreaming that he might in any way hope
Tor return OF his passion, he determined
TO nave her and, upon announcing this fact
and telling her he could no longer endure
her perfect indifference to him, she told
him OF her concealed love for him, and they
soon went together to England, where
they were married and have since lived.
Their present residence is No. l Morton
Gardens, Bolton, s. W.. and 10 q comfort
able rather than pretentious abode. 1t is
full OF souvenirs of Jenny Lind's early trl-
umphs, and there are also many valuable
pictures. Jenny Lind is also great favorto
with the queen and royal family generally.
Madame Lind.Goldschmidt has three chill
dren, one daughter and two sons, none OF
them, however, having the least musical
talent. One is In the army.
There Is little left of the once glorious
voice OF Jenny Lind, as she rarely uses 1t at
all except IN instructing some pupil how to
render passage Of a song. She Is a most
charitable woman, and for some years has
had class Of ten poor girls whom she
teaches twice week at her own home aud
prepares for opera and concert.
